Bold, Classic, And Full Of Tradition | Notre Dame Bagpipe Band

The Notre Dame Bagpipe Band branding session was all about creating images that feel strong, timeless, and unmistakably them.

A group like this has presence. The uniforms, the instruments, the tradition, it already tells a story. Our job was to capture that story in a clean, professional way that works everywhere they need it.

A Branding Session For The Notre Dame Bagpipe Band

Branding sessions aren’t just headshots. They’re visual assets.

The goal is to deliver images that can be used across websites, social media, recruiting, posters, and event marketing while keeping everything cohesive and recognizable. For the Notre Dame Bagpipe Band, that meant creating a set of portraits that feel bold, classic, and full of tradition.

Capturing The Presence Of The Group

We focused on strong group images first, the kind of photos that instantly communicate “this is a team.”

Then we layered in smaller groupings and individual portraits so they have options depending on what they’re promoting. The goal was variety, but still with a consistent visual identity.

Details That Make The Photos Feel Iconic

With a band like this, details matter.

The instruments, the uniforms, the way the group stands together, it all adds to the story. We kept the posing clean and intentional, but never stiff, so the final images feel confident and authentic.

Quick Tips For A Group Branding Session

1) Plan for variety.
Group shots, smaller groupings, and a few individual portraits gives you the most flexibility.

2) Shoot with usage in mind.
Website banners, posters, social crops, and print materials all need different framing. We build that into the session.

3) Keep it timeless.
The goal is a set of images that still fits the brand next season and next year.
